What Is AppCoins?

top bitcoin appsAppCoins (APPC) has held its ICO and is up nearly 300% since being added to Binance last Friday. But that’s not what interests me the most about this small market cap asset.

On Net Neutrality, VPNs, the Decentralized Web, and Supercomputers

net neutralityNow that net neutrality is dead here in America, you may be left wondering: is there anything I can do to fight this?
